5 m OS2 Duplex Fibre Cable

This five-metre single-mode duplex cable carries two fibres terminated with LC/UPC connectors. It is built for long-haul data links and telecom infrastructure where OS2 glass is required.

Suited for campus backbones and metro spans

Installers running extended single-mode links between buildings or equipment rooms will use this cable. It is not for short-reach multimode patches or for any connection that needs an angled-polish APC ferrule.

OS2 single-mode glass type

The cable uses OS2 specification fibre, which determines the reach and attenuation budget for single-mode transceivers. Match the glass type to the optics you are deploying.
